Weight loss stand still..



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 12/10. So far I've lost about 25lbs. Losing about 2-3lbs a day. But for the past 2 weeks or so I've lost like barely a pound a week. I eat what I'm supposed to, Protein first, veggies second and I drink nothing but Water. But I haven't excercisd much. Is that my problem. I need to get in motion?

Congratulations on the weight loss. Even though it is exciting to see losses of 2-3 pounds of day, that doesn't last. None of us loses at a constant or steady rate. We all experience slow downs in weight loss and even periodic stalls.

If you are losing, even if it is 1-2 pounds a week, you are not in a stall.

Everyone does stall and most folks experience their first stall or slow down about three weeks after surgery.

Just follow your program.

Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids.

Take your Vitamins and supplements as recommended.

And, exercise.

Embrace the Stall!

You've lost 25 lbs in a bit more than a month. That's fantastic progress! Getting in motion is always a good idea. Keep on keeping on, you'll be fine!

I was sleeved on 12/8. For the first two weeks I was losing quickly. However I have slowed down to about a pound or two a week myself. At first when the slow down came I was a little bit upset, but after I thought about it two pounds a week was more than I was losing with traditional dieting and I figure that is still eight to ten pounds a month.I started to increase my exercise and last week I lost three pounds. Slow and stead wins the race. Hang in there you can do it :)

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
